- no standard ratings system
- a need to reduce time spent by teachers
- no clearinghouse by teachers for teachers

Common Core Explorer - can search by grade and standard.
Teacher Center - how to videos, webinars, lesson flows, get certified (you can earn up $170 in an itunes gift card).
Boards - pre-created boards from other teachers (similar to Pinterest, I believe - I'm not a big Pinterest user)
Lesson Flow- customized framework to integrate tech tools. Some are good, others not so much.
